Had the day off today, but the musical highlight didn't happen until tonight. I had a good, long (2 hours) chat with B. First time in a few weeks. We're both puzzled as to J.'s lack of communication, especially considering he has tracks to play around with. I'm thinking I'll actually have to reach out to him and see what the deal is.
Apparently, B. has been doing a lot of playing the last few weeks. Our conversation started with her being stuck while trying to shore up one of the songs we worked out most of when I was home in August. We worked our way through that, and then she dropped something new on me that she had been working on. It's faster than our usual stuff, which is good. We've got a lot of cool stuff, but not a lot of faster rock numbers. This has the potential to be one of those. It's just a chorus, mind you, but there's definitely something there.
After that, I dragged out a chord progression that I swear I'd played for her before and gotten a "meh" reaction to, but apparently I was mistaken, because tonight she loved it and thought it might work for the obligatory slow song that always goes somewhere near the end of the record.
Also, I finally unearthed my copy of "Lungs." I was really starting to think I was never going to find it. I imported it right away, and charged up those mini-speakers I got at work too. They really pack a punch for being so small. It probably helps that I daisy-chained two of them together, but still.
Planning to sit with the electric for a bit tonight before I fall asleep. The Berklee App and the practice binder will probably be involved as well. Still feeling really good where motivation is concerned.
